[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You leftists need to get out of the city more. You all are clueless!! [/quote]

It's bubble-vision. Totally prevents them from seeing the world outside the beltway. [/quote]
eh.. I can say the same to rural people who have never left their tiny little insular towns. Maybe it would open up their eyes.  Certainly, many have left those areas to never return. Why do you think that is if rural areas are so wonderful?[/quote]

I'll agree with you the small town bubble is as isolated as the liberal urban bubble is. The vast majority live in neither. But in ordinary suburbs and ordinary cities.[/quote]
Define “ordinary city.” [/quote]

Tampa, Dallas, Kansas City, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Columbus, Denver, Charlotte, Atlanta, Raleigh, Jacksonville, Phoenix, Indianapolis, you get it.

Even in the DC area outside the beltway can fall into this category. [/quote]
Those cities all vote blue. We are talking about cities, right? “Ordinary cities?” Not gerrymandered Congressional districts that include parts of cities? They all vote blue. Outside the beltway are suburbs, not cities.[/quote]

Shrugs. Those cities may be blue but as regions they are far less politically obsessed or divided or out of touch as DC can be, along with certain other places. And I think that was the point. They are much more representative of the "real" America than the inside the beltway, whether it's the suburbs or the more urban areas (and one uses urban lightly in a lot of those places).

I quickly looked at the NYTimes map of the 2016 election. Hillary won 90% of the vote in DC, which is typical of most elections. But only 51% of Hillsborough County, where Tampa is. Or 60% of Orange County (home to Orlando). Sure, cities are more blue but they are not so lopsided as DC. [/quote]
“Tampa” and “Hillsborough County” are not the same. Neither are “Orlando” and “Orange County.” Cities vote blue. Even “ordinary cities.”[/quote]
